Looking for a Good Book!

I am addicted to the "chicken soup for the soul" books. They have something for everyone - they even have a "chicken soup for the mother's soul 1 & 2"!! They are great because you can read just one or two stories one day, and then even if you don't get to your book again for a week or so, you're not "lost" in your story when you start up again - great for busy moms who may have time to read one day, but not the next!! ;)

I just finished reading The Shack by William Young, that was a great book. Jodi Picoult novels are always great too.

I like a simple light hearted mystery series myself. Charlaine Harris, Janet Evanovich, Sharon Fiffer all have great series. They are funny too.

I'm a Harry Potter addict, personally - so if you haven't read them, then do!

I also loved Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger (author of The Devil Wears Prada - another good one!) The Scarlet Pimpernel's a classic, and Dan Brown's Angel & Demons and The DaVinci Code (I'm Catholic, and although I don't necessarily agree with them, they are good reads!)

Hi
I loved "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer. Easy reading, and it seems like everyone is reading it these days.
Good luck

I am big reader. I love Janet Evanovich's 'number' series. The main character is Stephanie Plum and they are laugh out loud funny. Good reads. Another great author is Sue Grafton, love her stuff. Her series is set in 'Santa Theresa' which is really Santa Barbara. I am reading the sequel to Friday Night Knitting Club (which is wonderful), Knit Two. And so far love it as much as the first one.

Go to www.barnesandnoble.com

They have a "review" section you can click on.

Like yourself, I love to read, but have hardly done so since having my first child 6 years ago! LOL! So I wouldn't know what books are popular right now.

Or, you can always buy the Oprah book of the month... visit her website and you can see what books she has picked.

Good luck!

well i just got down reading a child called it and the lost boy (both by david pelzer) they are graphic books (true stories)about a severely abused boy but it is a really good series. i have heard that the twilight series is a good read too. if you prefer a little more adult read then try anne rice she write awesome graphic reads (my favorite was beautys punishment). good luck i hope you find a good read... i know its hard for me to.

Nora Roberts is good, I know I know....a little romance but not too mushy, and the Chicken Soup for the Soul books are good i agree with the other mommy who suggested it. Good for you it's something all for you, it's such a good relaxation tool!...Happy Reading!
